IF YOU HAVE A HOLE IN A WOODEN ANYTHING, AND YOU NEED TO FILL IT, DO LITERALLY ANYTHING BESIDES USING AUTO BODY FILLER FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

"WHY?" WELL MY DEAR FRIENDS, WOOD FUCKING MOVES AND AUTO BODY FILLER FUCKING DOESN'T.

"GEE SNAKE THAT SURE SOUNDS LIKE MY BODY FILLER AND MY WOOD ARE GOING TO WIGGLE APART AS SOON AS THE SEASONS CHANGE" CORRECT! GOLD STAR FOR YOU!

BONDO IS FOR FUCKING CARS.

I got the idea from cowcatchers old locomotives used to have.

Anyways, yesterday I uploaded the model to Thingiverse, and just hours after uploading it, the Community Relationship Manager of the whole website left a comment suggesting I enter the model into a competition that's currently being held on the site.

So I did... and now it's in third place not even a day later. First place is $500, but the competition still has a month to go.

Then the Community Manager contacted me again, telling me they want to feature my model in an upcoming design promotion.

Just, what is happening? I mostly made this thing for myself in, like, an hour, and now it's suddenly super popular? This is all a little bit overwhelming 😵‍💫

Other models I worked on for weeks didn't get nearly as popular. I swear, it's impossible to predict what people will like.

Anyways, if you want to print the wheel guards yourself, you can get the model here or here.

I also made a quiet version you can stick furniture felt pads on.

Me 1 day later: I need to be left alone to gather the pieces of Me together

I cannot express to you how FAST it has gone. I grew up in a world that does not exist now. We're starting on the path to reverse it, globally. You might not know how much solar has EXPLODED in the last decade or two. It's gone from a side thing, a weirdo novelty that was just Not Viable... to whole countries investing in infrastructure. but we have to keep fighting big oil and fascism everywhere we can in order to keep on this road to a new better less scorching burning earth.

Contrast that with several weeks of snow that I knew in my childhood. It was sometimes enough that workplaces and schools had to close. And nowhere as many heatwaves, and nowhere as long, as the past couple years.

A wild, untamed aesthetic steeped in the magic of ancient rites. Includes a version with ceremonial horns for shamanic rituals and a hornless option - pure, primal wildness.
